I've got no ideaw what Dave thinks the kitbot's shortcomings are, but here are mine-
No easy/good way to directly output to the center wheel in a 6wd format
No way to tension chains by sliding the wheels
No easy way to use live axles
No easy/good way to run your wheels outboard of the frame.
That list isn't meant to be a complaint. The kitbot is great for a number of teams, and anything that keeps teams from showing up to a regional with a robot that doesn't drive is great in my book. It's just not very optimal when you move on to more advanced designs.
